Physics: Light and Color

Review worksheetSlide2

1.

A light wave is an electromagnetic wave which has both an electric and magnetic

component associated

with it. Electromagnetic waves are often distinguished from mechanical waves.

The distinction

is based on the fact that electromagnetic waves

______.

can travel through a region void of matter and mechanical waves cannot.

Example:

Light waves can travel through space and sound waves cannot.Slide3

2.

Consider

the diagram below. It represents the beginnings of an electromagnetic spectrum below

.

Complete the diagram by labeling the following regions: ultraviolet, infrared, x-ray, radio

wave, gamma radiation, and microwave radiation.Slide4

3, 4, and 5.

3. Which region of the electromagnetic spectrum has the highest frequency?

gamma rays

 

4. Which region of the electromagnetic spectrum has the longest wavelength? radio waves 5. Which region of the electromagnetic spectrum will travel with the fastest speed? velocity = frequency x wavelength in the void of space (vacuum), all travel at the same speed.Slide5

6.

It

is known that electromagnetic waves with longer wavelengths have a greater ability to

bend around

obstacles that get in their path. This ability to bend around obstacles is referred to

as diffraction. Electromagnetic waves with strong diffraction properties are used in communication. Which two regions of the spectrum have the greatest ability to diffract? Radio Waves and MicrowavesSlide6

7.

It

is known that electromagnetic waves with high frequency are more capable of causing damage to the organs of living things. Which two regions of the spectrum have the tendency to cause the greatest damage to humans

?

gamma and x-raySlide7

8 and 9.

Light that the human eye is capable of detecting is known as visible light. There is a range of frequencies that the eye can detect. Various frequencies are observed as different colors. The diagram below represents the range or spectrum of visible light frequencies labeled with their respective colors

.

10 and 11.

10. Light and material objects always interact in one way or another. When light is incident on some materials, it is transmitted through the material. For instance, visible light is transmitted through glass. Glass is said to be _______ to visible light.

a. transparent

b. opaque

11. Other materials absorb and/or reflect light only. They do not allow light to pass through it. Such materials are said to be ________. a. transparent

b. opaqueSlide9

12.

12. Some material objects are transparent to certain forms of electromagnetic waves but opaque to other forms. Earth's atmosphere is an example. The atmosphere allows visible light to pass through it. Much of the more damaging portion of the ultraviolet spectrum is blocked by a thin layer of ozone in the stratosphere. The atmosphere is said to be _________________________

(

transparent

, opaque) to visible light but _____________________________

 (transparent, opaque) to ultraviolet light.Slide10

13.

13. As light passes through transparent objects, the speed at which it travels is __________.

a. the same speed as it travels through air

b. less than the speed at which it travels through air

c. greater than the speed at which it travels through airSlide11

1.

Visible light is composed of a range of wavelengths; different wavelengths correspond to

different colors

. Identify the seven component colors of visible light

2.

Natural philosophers have long pondered the underlying

reasons for color in nature. One common historical belief

was that colored objects in nature produce small particles

(perhaps light particles) that subsequently reach our eyes.

Different objects produce different colored particles, thuscontributing to their different appearance. No, because you can not see it in the dark.Slide13

Two students in the cafeteria are discussing the physics of color. The students are claiming that white and black are not really colors of light. If white and black are not really colors of light, then what are they? Explain fully

.

White is a reflection of ROYGBIV

Black is the absorption of ROYGBIVSlide15

Explain why a red shirt looks red when visible light ("ROYGBIV") shines upon it

.

The shirt absorbed everything except red.Slide16

What

color(s) of visible light will a cyan (bluish-green) pair of sunglasses ...

a. ... transmit?

bluish-green = cyanb. ... absorb or block? redSlide18

20.

Complementary colors of light are combinations of two light colors that can be mixed together in equal intensities to produce white light. Thus, the complementary color of ...

a. ... red light is

cyan

light. b. ... green light is magenta light. c. ... blue light is yellow light.Slide19

1.

White light is observed when light of _______ wavelengths strike the retina

.

Visible light - that which is detectable by the human eye - consists of wavelengths ranging from approximately 780 nanometer (7.80 x 10

-7

m) down to 390 nanometer (3.90 x 10-7 m).Slide20

2.

Primary colors of light are three colors of light which when mixed together produce white

light. There

are many different sets of primary light colors. Interestingly enough, the eye contains

three types

of color sensors (nerve cells) that sense the entire span of the visible light spectrum. Each of the three types of cells senses a range of colors; yet they are most sensitive to a specific light color. The most common set of three primary light colors are those that correspond to the three colors that the nerve cells are most sensitive to. What are these three primary colors? Blue – Red

Green

Slide21

3.

By combining pairs of these three

primary colors

in equal intensity, one can produce the

secondary colors

of light. State the pairs and the secondary colors they produce. Then fill in the color wheel to the right.

Red & Blue = Magenta

Red & Green = Yellow

Blue & Green = CyanSlide22

4.

Two lights are arranged above a white sheet of paper. When

the lights

are turned on they illuminate the entire sheet of paper (

as seen

in the diagram at the right). Each light bulb emits a primarycolor of light - red (R), green (G), and blue (B). Depending on which primary color of light is used, the paper will appear a different color. Express your understanding of color addition bydetermining the color that the sheet of paper will appear in the diagrams below.

5.

Complementary colors of light

are combinations of two light colors that can be mixed together

in equal

intensities to produce white light. Thus, the complementary color of ...

a. ... red light is CYAN light.b. ... green light is MAGENTA light.c. ... blue light is YELLOW light

.Slide24

6.

The Rule of Color Subtraction:

An understanding of complementary colors assists

in understanding

the color appearance of objects when viewed under white light. Whenever an

object subtracts a color from white light, it appears as the complementary color. If an object absorbs cyan light, then it will appear as red. Conversely, an object that appears as red is an object that absorbs cyan light. Use these ideas to complete the following statements.When viewed under white light (RGB), a ...a. ... red shirt will absorb GB

Express your understanding of complementary colors and the rule of color subtraction

by completing

the following three diagrams. White light (red-green-blue) is shown incident on a

sheet of

paper that is painted with a pigment that absorbs one of the primary colors of light. For each diagram, label the color of the two reflected colors and label the color that the paper appears.R G
